Indicator 1: How well are women looked after at this facility<br />
<strong>Gold</strong> standard care is defined as women feeling that they were looked after ‘very well’ during labour and birth. As such, best<br />
facilities are those where the highest percentage of women said that they were looked after ‘very well’ during labour and birth.<br />
We asked: “Overall, how well were you looked after by your care provider(s) during labour and birth”<br />
The graph displays the percentage of women who said that they were looked after ‘very well’ (‘5’), as well as the percentages of<br />
women who gave a rating of ‘4’, ‘3’, ‘2’ and ‘1’ (‘very badly’) on the same scale.<br />
5 = Very well 4 3 2 1 = Very badly<br />

What do women say about their care<br />
“The midwives and obstetricians work together to<br />
provide individual care to the parents during labour &<br />
the baby afterwards. The hospital is like a home.<br />
Lovely experience utmost respect is given to parent<br />
decisions. We felt very safe.”<br />
“My largest disappointment about having my baby,<br />
was the lack of choices and options I was given at all<br />
times during my pregnancy and labour. I was really<br />
treated as a number. It was all very impersonal. My<br />
birth plan was disregarded by all staff.”<br />
